Bracket Schmracket

Gordon wants a redo.

Turns out some of those teams with lame mascots cheated.

Who would let a dog into the final four?

Especially a lame squatty looking one.

Anyway. Moving on.

Gordon is currently accepting bids for his services.

His mascot services to be more precise.

Wildcat, Bobcat or House Cat?

You decide.

No One Wants To Be THAT Girl

So I'm sitting at work today minding my own business, keeping my cat ladyness to myself when I get this email. "Do you have a cat carrier I can borrow?"

Well, yes I do, but um.....?

Said email came from someone I don't know very well. Someone I have never spoken to about Gordy and Jitty-mow. In response to the confirmation that yes, I do own one, and yes he is welcome to borrow it I get: "So are you a former or a current cat owner?"

So. The question becomes; did someone tell on me or do I just have that look??

Or worse yet, that smell?

This is serious business people. I am concerneed.

Take Me To Your Canned Leader

Sometimes the cat lady feeds the kittens canned cat food just to see the excitement on their faces. And because then they continue to run when she opens any kind of can. And that makes her feel loved. Don't judge. They recognize both the can opener noise and the little handy dandy top. That's at least third grade smart.

In other news....it snowed last night. Jitterbug was pleased to have one last snowflake chase until next winter. Serious lack of cats in the snow pictures because my camera battery decided to die right at the height of cuteness. But yes, the cats went out in the snow while I watched from the couch. I don't have to test the stuff...I know its still cold.

Partyin' Like It's 2005!

It was the party to which all future parties will be compared.

We pulled out all the stops. Because its not every day that Gordon King of All Awesome Cats turns 6 whole years old.

There were blind-folded games

And cute Jitty mow friends.

A "How many hats can you balance on the Gord?" contest

And cake. Of course.

Served on fine Hello Kitty china. Of course.

CELEBRATE!

It's somebody's birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Birthday party pics are on their way. Eventually.

Gordon is currently celebrating by chasing Jitterbug.

She is not pleased.

And now. In the tradition that is horrible blogs.

The annual "about you" section.

Yep. Gonna happen. Brace yourself.

Gordon, at 6 years old you:

Weigh: more than you should, last time we were at the vet she called you "obese". That was after she had to knock you out with some tranquilizers because you went ape shit on the place. I would have too, smelled like dog pee up in there.

Eat: Everything. All the time. And you like it fresh from the bag. None of that kibble that has been sitting out for a few hours.

Sleep: All day, Everyday. Anywhere and everywhere.

Love: Your bestest friend, Jittybugs.

Wear: Well nothing. That would be weird.

Gordon has decided that to end the night he would like to give himself a pedicure.

Pretty much how I spent my birthday.

Like cat, like cat lady.

Cutest Baby Mow. EVER.

Fashion DISASTER

The cat lady didnt want to go to the store wearing this:

So she threw on a couple of layers. Wasn't until she was wandering around the very bright, fairly full aisles of Walgreens she realized she had put together this:

Improvement? I think not.

No more late night trips here....

March Madness

Gordon worked on his bracket all day today. He has Clemson going all the way. The cat lady wasn't so sure, but he had a solid strategy. It went something like this....buffalo always lose, as do birds, as well as any stupid mascots. It is going to come down to a battle of the big cats!

How did Uggs get so ugly?

No, not the shoes. Those require no explanation; ugly but oh so fabulous.

Turns out some cats are not blessed with the cuteness that is Jittybugs.

Oh, and don't watch this video while eating...

WTF- World's Ugliest Cat

Its Plenty Warm Inside

Some days living with Gordon is like living with a guy. A human guy. He doesn't clean up his messes, takes up more than his fair share of the bed and whines for me to get out of the bathroom in the morning. I'm not even going to mention the blowing the lid off of the kitty litter box habit. Oh wait, just did. But last night was the night of all nights. The cat de resistance, if you will. Last night Gordon left the freezer door open. all night. ALL NIGHT.

ALL NIGHT!

And so this weekend Jitterbug and I will be feasting on the wide array of foods that Gordon so thoughtfully defrosted for us. She even suggested we throw a party.

All are welcome. Starts Friday at 5pm.

Menu includes meatloaf, tacos, defrosted frozen bread dough, melted popsicles in a wide variety of flavors, raw beef, homemade chili, and defrosted mango chunks.

God Bless the Internet

Today just keeps getting better and better. The cat lady loves her some crazy Japanese stuff.

Heaven On Earth

I believe its time for the cat lady to take a vacay.

Deep Thoughts by the Cat Lady

And now Deep Thoughts by the Cat Lady

1. Why haven't the makers of Midol and the good folks at Hersheys gotten together to make one kick-ass Midol-laced chocolate confection?

2. If Gordon is laying in the bathtub does that mean that he is secretly ready for his annual cleanse?

3. How many boxes of girl scout cookies does one have to eat in order to actually turn into a girl scout?

4. You want it all WHERE?!

5. Why are the Mavs like the worst sporting franchise ever?

6. Do we love or do we love these pants?

http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/clearance/womens1/sleepwear/PRD~793721/Hello+Kitty+Oui+Oui+Paris+Pajama+Set.jsp

7. If the cat lady always saves money while internet shopping by leaving her wallet in the other room wouldnt it make sense to leave her wallet in the car during actual shopping?

8. How is it possible for Jitterbug to be so cute and not have overdosed on cuteness serum?

9. If the cat lady doesn't go to work tomorrow will anyone notice?

10. Pretty sure Gordon would make a great lead cat on the Cat Lady's cat sled team.

A Cat Lady's Gotta Eat

The cat lady is too lazy to blog tonight. Making meatloaf and shredded taco meat will do that to a girl. Plus that whole getting out of bed and showering on a Saturday thing is way too much work.

But. Lazyness aside. Oh my goodness, look at the site I just found:

http://www.skinnytaste.com/

Do you not want to try all of those recipes? I mean...assuming substitutions were made to replace all of the fat-free ingredients with fat-full.
